Where the calls come from
Lithium Marketing runs local SEO for Tuscaloosa service businesses so the customer looking for a plumber, a roofer or an electrician finds a company that answers. For “plumber tuscaloosa”, Google put the Map Pack first when we checked and showed no paid ads at all, so the profile and the reviews behind it carry the first impression.
The three listings in the Tuscaloosa Map Pack carried 1,500, 1,300 and 149 Google reviews. A profile that names every service, a page that answers the same question and a review request after each finished job are the parts a business controls.
Search in Tuscaloosa
Search volume in Tuscaloosa sits in the trades: 390 searches a month for “pest control tuscaloosa”, 210 for “electrician tuscaloosa” and 170 for “roofing company tuscaloosa”. A business that sells two of those jobs needs two pages, because one page cannot answer both searches well.
The first page for “plumber tuscaloosa” carried the Better Business Bureau, Facebook, HomeAdvisor and Yelp, and each of those profiles needs the same name, phone number and service list as the site.

The housing behind the searches
42.2% of Tuscaloosa’s homes went up before 1980, and older housing is where repair and replacement work comes from. A plumber or an electrician should have a page for each of those jobs, written for the repairs those houses need.
A Tuscaloosa SEO plan needs repair and upgrade pages for houses built before 1980, and pages about finish work and warranty calls for newer streets. Each page speaks to a different job, and Google can tell them apart.

Trades in Tuscaloosa County
Tuscaloosa County has 59 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors and 41 electrical contractors, two trades whose customers call when something breaks. The same county has 61 landscaping companies, whose customers often ask for a quote before a visit.
A county with that many companies in one trade is where reviews and job photos do the separating. A profile with recent reviews and a page for each service gives Google something to match, and it gives the customer a reason to pick up the phone.

The SEO plan
The technical work comes first, then the pages and the profile, then the links that move both.
We check indexing, page speed, internal links and the way service pages are titled, and fix the errors that keep a page out of the results.
Categories, services, hours, photos and the service area go into the Google Business Profile, and the site repeats them in the same words.
A page for every service you sell, a paragraph for every town you cover and photos of the work, all linked from the homepage.
We build links to the pages that bring work and report calls, forms and booked jobs every month, so the next month follows the numbers.

FAQ

The technical fixes usually land inside the first 30 days. The local and long-tail rankings that bring the calls usually take 60 to 90 days, and revenue compounds from month four. The report counts calls from the first month, so the trend shows before the rankings settle.
The retainer runs $1,300–$3,000 a month. Where you land depends on how many services and towns you want covered, how much repair the site needs before a page can rank, and how many jobs a month you want the phone to bring.
No Tuscaloosa address is needed. A service-area business can set the towns it covers in the Google Business Profile, and the site, the reviews and the listings give Google the rest of the signal.
We write them from a call with you and the photos you send, and you review every page before it goes live. The copy stays yours, and changes after launch come from you or from the account manager.
A brand search is the easy part. The work is the job search a customer types when they have never heard of you, and those pages take longer because each one starts from a service, a town and a reason to call.
Free action plan
A short video call with a co-founder starts with the pages you have and the services you sell. From there, the two of you pick the fix that comes first.
